Ingredients you'll need:

First Variation:
4.5 pounds (1.8kilo) fresh roma tomatoes
1/2 cup (125ml) good extra virgin olive oil
sea salt to taste

Second Variation (Amatriciana-esque style) *this gets added to the simmering tomatoes instead of that 1/2 cup (125ml) of olive oil:
1/4 cup diced guanciale (75g)
2 sprigs rosemary
1 clove garlic lightly crushed left whole *see notes*
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil

*notes on garlic*: I use only one clove because it's flavor needs to be very subtle for this tomato sauce. You really want the flavor of the tomato to shine through for the majority of the flavor. Authentic Italian flavor uses garlic in moderation and in subtlety.
